      It definitely says that in the dictionary. Not in that order, but still…

    I know the answer is “logic”, but seriously.

    The state owns the roads, not your car. The license is saying you’re approved to drive a registered car on their roads. Don’t like it? Then don’t drive.

    “But muh taxes!”… I thought you said you were a citizen of your own country, not theirs.

      You missed some nuance. Don’t drive on their roads. You can drive unregistered vehicles on your own property with no issues. Many homesteaders and farmers do this with work trucks that never leave their property.

      That’s where the edges of these people’s thinking begins. There’s so many tiny caveats that they believe there has to be some secret set of true rules out there for people clever enough to crack the code.

        The Founding Fathers, in their infinite wisdom, would NEVER craft a Constitution that didn’t give everyone freedom. The word Constitution literally means freedom. Anyone who does their own research knows that. It’s this new corrupt government that twists the words around to benefit themselves!

        Now we wait and see who thinks I’m kidding and who thinks I’m serious. 😁

      They got scammed into being SovCits in the first place. Lots of them pay large amounts of money for the “secrets.” They’ll pay $200 to get out of a $50 ticket. And then not get out of paying the ticket.

    @BonesOfTheMoon

    Because of your posts, I wrote a 10 minute short film about a SovCit. Will try to save this year so I can fund next year. Last year’s film is doing well on the film festival circuit this year though.

    At least this one seems kinda skeptical about what they read and wants to find the actual statute.

        Well, there is an ‘if true’. And it’s hard to prove a negative.

    Why do they think that issuing licenses equates to ownership?

      Because they don’t understand what words mean. Something they show pretty much every time they post.

      It feels like they’re using the definition/use case of software licensing and applying it to motor vehicles. As in, “If I have to get a license from you, then you are the owner and I am just the licensee”.

      Its a bonkers misapplication of the word, but that never stops a Sovcit.

        actually, that usage makes sense if you realize that you’re licensing the roads, not the car.

          Except the Sovcit above is extending the “license” to the equal state ownership of the car.

            Oh I’m not defending the Sovcit in the slightest. I’m just pointing out that the license still works in the same way as a software license, but the license is for the roads.

    They seem to like this one. I’ve seen that idea pop up more than once. Out of all of their stupid nonsense, you’d think at least this one they could figure out never happens for anyone ever.

    if the state had to pay you to drive to the Piggly Wiggly to pick up a case of Miller High Life they’d simply be like “Don’t.”
